  There is a place where you can be sure that you would find a representative (MP) from every part of Ghana year round gathered together to deliberate on the future and the current state of this country. Where is that? Parliament house of course. If there is such a place then how should the place and the people there be treated in the scheme of things? What priority should such a house be given in the governance of the country? If there is such a place then what kind of people should we send there and how should we assess their performance?
  
  Parliament must also provide a readily available renovated residence in Sakumono to a newly elected parliamentarian. Accommodation in Accra/Tema is expensive and not every MP-elect may have the money to rent a house as he or she may have exhausted his or her funds running for office.

  There should be a massive demonstration for the director of DVLA to resign for his short sightedness on this issue. Inter-city buses DO NOT NEED SEAT BELTS Period. Where did he school? Is he coming from the forest? DVLA director should resign to give way to people who can think better. He is obsolete.

  Long distance vehicles are the ones that need seat belts. Trotro vehicles do not need seat belts. At what speed do they go in the city for them to be fitted with seat belts? Seat belts save lives when speeding 50km/h and over, not when speeding around 35 km/h. At that speed, the seat belt would not work. Leave the Trotro drivers alone.

  Seat belt saves lives it's been proven. Vehicle owners are not willing to pay for the seat belts. The police should cite any vehicle who doesn't have seat belt in it. Possibly impound the vehicle. Backwards looking people.

  It's high time Ghanaians embraced positive changes. We complain about everything. It's only a fool who will be hypocritical about the merits of fitted seatbelts in both private and commercial vehicles.

  Mr Sarbah, your argument is just simple logic. In deveoloped countries the use of small buses have sitting capacity only and no standing capacity. The big buses that have standing capacity have speed limits and mostly have their own lane in towns. So if trotro can get big buses then they can claim to be exempted from the seatbelts. Developped countries don't use deplorable buses as we have in Ghana. So get a different argument, for this one does not hold.
